    I have been trying to make a stop at pineapple Hutt for the past couple years and I may be mistaken but I believe it used to have limited hours and was food truck so I was excited to see expanded hours and location! I definitely wasn't expecting it to be where it was but it's on the street running parallel to the city market. The line was long and the credit card machine was down so I had to get cash. However, the time I returned, it was up and running. I went with the peach and pineapple and it was good- peach tasted more on the artificial flavor but at least it's low calorie healthier choice! It is dairy free, vegan, gluten free, low calorie but honestly I'd have to say it looks better than it tastes. It's ice cream but it's not creamy- more so tastes like an icee but regardless, was refreshing and glad I finally had a chance to try it!

    This is a must have if you're around Charleston. It was so light and refreshing. Perfect sweet treat option.

    I've been hearing about this place for ages and finally got to try it today while visiting Folly - and it absolutely did not disappoint! I went with a regular pineapple and cherry swirl, and it was sooo good. On such a hot day, it was the perfect sweet treat to help cool me down. Honestly, I'd eat this every day if I could. This spot is a must-visit when you're in Folly!

    Raspberry pineapple swirl! Yum!

    Ordered a couple pineapple whips at the mermaid's festival on Folly. Yummy not too sweet! I'll be back for another refreshing treat!

    The pineapple float wasn't as good as my beloved dole whip float at Disney, and it was FAR smaller than in the pictures. It was also $7.46, which is much more expensive than pictured.

    Very tasty pineapple soft serve. My first time in SC having this. I heard it's a Southern thing.

    My beloved Pineapple Hut! So light and refreshing, great pineapple flavor, and getting it IN the half pineapple with pineapple chunks at the bottom is for sure the way to go. It's a little cart/shop front and if you blink you might miss it, but it's so worth a visit while you're walking out and about downtown Charleston. The girl behind the counter was super friendly too.

    I love pineapple so much that I came here twice during my visit to Charleston (in case you were wondering, yes, I was definitely the weird kid who liked pineapples on my pizza--and still do)! I was already sold on the pineapple whip alone but if you want to take it up a notice and upgrade, the Pineapple Float and Paradise Whip (basically a pineapple float IN a pineapple) will win you over either way. I couldn't bring myself to get the Paradise Whip since it comes in a huge portion, but I so would if I didn't come on a nearly full stomach on both occasions. There aren't a lot of non-dairy or lighter ice cream options nearby so this is the perfect refreshing treat if you need a lighter pick-me-up. It's a great spot with plenty of seating outside of a food hall in a super busy area to chill out. This town has many by-the-scoop ice cream shops but this is a great choice if you ever want something different!

    Grabbed a pineapple soft serve here, and it was pretty good. Smooth texture, refreshing flavor, and the price was fair. I just wish it had a bit more tartness to cut through the sweetness. Service was straightforward and efficient--no frills, just gets the job done. No seating, so it's strictly a grab-and-go spot, but it's convenient. Wouldn't mind stopping by again.

    Can't go wrong with pineapple whip. Nothing more to say, it was literally just pineapple sorbet in a cup, but it was very pleasant. It was very refreshing for a hot day. Service was great. The pineapple hut was very cute. Check this place out! I can't believe I forgot to take a picture of the actual pineapple whip, that's an L on my part.

    As close to a Dole Whip as you are going to get. This was a nightly visit for me when we were on Folly island.

    My husband, his parents, and I went to Kaminsky's at around 8:30ish on a weeknight for a sweet…read moretreat. It's a super small establishment with a few tables and some bar seating. Luckily, we were able to be seated immediately but it was very close quarters with surrounding tables. The menu is vast with different dessert options. If you want to know what cakes are available, you should check out the display stand right when you enter. Since we were there 2.5 hours before closing, there didn't seem to be a lot of cake options available, but my husband and I decided to share a slice of the s'mores cake with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream to make it à la mode. The s'mores cake was a chocolate cake with mini marshmallows, chocolate fudge, graham crackers, and more marshmallows. The cake was good and had everything I could ever want in it, but it was a little dry. I think this also had to do with it being the end of the night. The ice cream complemented the flavor well. It would have been better with a second scoop of ice cream though. Service was great! It took about 10 minutes from when we ordered to get our dessert. I would probably come back here again, but not so late at night so there would be fresher cake with more options available.

    We gave Kaminsky's Dessert Cafe a second try, but unfortunately they couldn't redeem themselves. On…read moreboth visits, service was lacking. We waited about 5 to 10 minutes to be acknowledged while two employees stood nearby. The two layer chocolate caramel pecan cake, which our waitress initially could not find, was dry and tasted stale. I would not order it again. The Tollhouse pie was a bit better, but the presentation and the whipped cream were the standouts, and the whipped cream wasn't even homemade! That's the best thing I could say about our experience. The food, pricing, service, and ambiance all fell below average. When you are located downtown with so many great dessert options around, you really need to step up your game. We will not be returning.
